April Fools day in islam Quran Hadith April Fool History in Urdu English Muslims
In Islam we are clearly prohibited from making fun and mockery of any person even if it is just in jest! The Prohibition Of Lying Allah Most Wise says:O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent � then it is those who are the wrongdoers. (Al-Hujuraat: Ayah 11) Indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar. (Al-Ghafir: Ayah 28) Messenger of Allah (saw) says: It was narrated by Mu'aawiyah ibn Haydah that he heard the Prophet (pbuh) say: 'Woe to the one who talks to make the people laugh and tells lies, woe to him, woe to him."(Hadith-Tirmidhi,Abu Dawood). Reward For Refraining From Lie The Messenger of Allah (saw) is reported to have said: �I guarantee a home in the middle of Jannah for one who abandons lying even if it�s just for the sake of fun'' (Abu Dawud) Signs of A Hypocrite "The signs of the hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is entrusted with something, he betrays that trust." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 33; Muslim, 59) Momin�s Response Hazrat Wasilah reported that the Messenger of Allah(peace be upon) said: "Do not display pleasure at your brothers misfortune."[Hadith-Tirmizi] Always Speak The Truth It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: "They said, 'O Messenger of Allaah, you joke with us.' He said, 'But I only speak the truth. " (Hadith-Tirmidhi, 1990) The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever imitates a person is one of them." (Hadith-Ahmad) When our Muslim Ummah is being disgraced and humiliated by the Kuffaar from East to West, how is it possible for a believer with even a minute degree of Imaan to engage in this bogus custom of April Fool's Day? |
